Default Floor jacks used with Eastwood adaptor

Hi All,
Has anyone used an inexpensive floor jack with the Eastwood unibody adaptor? The floor jacks I have seen do not seem to have a removable cup.

Thanks,
Mark (98.5 2.8 QMS)

Default Was looking for a smaller one

It sounds like I need to get a larger jack if I want to use the adaptor. I'll check out BJs if I don't get any suggestion on a smaller jack.

Thanks,
Mark

$30 2.25-ton Wal-Mart floor jack with Eastwood adapter - works like a charm.

Was it the "Mack" brand? I took a look at the Walmart ones and did not see an easy way to remove the cup? Did you have an easy way to remove the cup so that you could replace it with the Eastwood adaptor?

Thanks,
Mark

Default it was MVP or MPV...

The cup is attached by a removable pin underneath.

Now, we're talking about the bigger lifting jacks that ride on 4 wheels, not the little square ones that are stationary. Just making sure we're on the same page.

Yes, the ones with the wheels. The local Walmart actually had two brands. I could take out the Mack brand and look at it. I couldn't do so with the other. I forget what the other brand was. I'll have to go back and check it out.

Thanks,
Mark
